Stay on course this year - Plan When You'll be Putting the Clubs Down

3 November 2008

Lots of people joke about golf not being a real sport. Of course they're right. If you are a golfer, then it isn't a sport, it's a way of life…

Is golf taking over your life?
Do you find yourself spending your days planning their way through the golf sessions of the next few weeks, arranging games with friends, trying to squeeze in tournaments into already jam packed weekends? Do you dream of playing like Tiger Woods, getting that all-elusive hole in one? In reality, maybe it's all too often that you find yourself digging your way out of the bunker, both on the fairways and off! It's hard for unsporty types to understand the obsession, and you may find that your nearest and dearest aren't quite so enthralled by your golfing dreams as they should be. Maybe it's even gone so far that they claim you love your golf clubs more than them. Whether it's true or not, it pays to keep on their good side, so it's time you got organised and made sure your golfing habits are organised and under control.

Organised? I don't really do that…
Calendars not really your thing? It's fair to say that most people struggle to keep on top of their busy schedules and what with your early morning games and all day tournaments, yours is possibly more problematic than most. We all start off the year with the best of intentions, avidly filling in our new calendars with dates and appointments. By April the enthusiasm has usually run out and the page is still on February. Why not choose one of the range of personalised calendars and give yourself a fighting chance of sticking to your resolution of a new organised golfing-you. With personalised calendars you can keep your golfing fixtures organised, make sure your loved ones get their share of your time and get your sports fix every day as well!

Get golfing organised
Personalised calendars are the perfect gift for every sports fan, whether it is golf or any other sport. They can see their name incorporated onto their favourite strip, on their formula one racing helmet or spelt out in golf carts on the fairway. Every image reflects the theme of the calendar which they've selected. So for you golfing devotees out there, there are personalised calendars that have 12 months worth of greens, fairways, action shots and even the odd bunker thrown in. It may not be as good as the real thing, but at least one of these personalised calendars will allow you to organise your life, but most importantly without moving your number one activity to the back of your mind!

Do you usually think you could do things better yourself?
Well this time you can! You have to get it right if you want to be a winner, and of course, every budding golfer is out there to win. Make your calendar a winning design by choosing one of the personalised calendars and then designing it to meet all the criteria that other calendars so often fall down on. You can select the images you love and even incorporate your name into the scenes. Would it make you smile to see your name spelt out in golf carts in April? How about seeing it floating above the fairways in the clouds in May? With personalised calendars you can choose the pictures you want, the words you want, even the size and whether it sits on your wall or desk. You can also select which month the calendar starts from, to fit in with your birthday, or maybe just when your other half got really mad and you decided it was time to take action! Either way, the end result is a calendar that is almost as special and unique as the person who designed it!

Not guilty! But I know someone that is…
Maybe it's not you that has the guilty conscience. Maybe it's your husband or wife that abandons you for the fairways? It's hard for us non-golfing or just plain unsporty types to understand the obsession, because it is most definitely that. Are you getting to the point where you're seriously considering bending their golf clubs whilst they're sleeping? Stop! You don't need to do anything so drastic just yet. Whether you understand it or not, their golfing obsession is here to stay, so if you're in it for the long haul why not give in to their addiction and give them a little bit of what they want. With personalised calendars you could give them their golfing green fix 365 days a year and hopefully get a few of those days put aside for you too!
